    Afternoon everyone,
    I’ve been away for a few days, so haven’t posted for a few days. Hope everyone is well.
    I’d never seen Stonehenge other than on pictures and on the tv, so we decided to have a short break and go see them. The visitor centre was very interesting, and how they managed to transport those huge stones all those miles and then put them up is truly amazing. Yesterday we took a trip into Salisbury itself and visited the cathedral - a magnificent building, and again, very interesting to visit. Back home now.

      Hello @Blue arbour. I have been to see Stonehenge and it is truly awesome. I was lucky enough to go and see the stones before they were fenced off. There is certainly an atmosphere around them and I remember feeling 'connected' with the past. That is the best way I can describe it.

      We went to the market this morning. Bought runner beans, OH's favourite, and walnuts, which he loves. Funny little peasant farmer, very very chatty was selling the walnuts. Thought we'd never get away! He said my French was very good and he recited the days of the week in English to show me he knew a bit!

      I spent the afternoon gardening and planting. It was 24C!

      We are going to Daughter 1's's tomorrow, may have said.

      Hi Busy Lizzie it was nice here in Paris too, 3 days of sunshine in a row! I have looked at the weather forecast for Scotland for next week, will definitely be a shock to the system temperature wise. Paris to Dover tomorrow, Dover to Gretna on Sunday ( little look around the outlet village…), Gretna to Edinburgh Monday.

        Thanks @Badly_Maintained. It's a pity your father can't be accommodated nearer to your mother, would make life so much easier for you.
        Hope your father is ok @AuntyRach - and that your washing has dried.
        That sounds a good haul @Dovefromabove, very yummy. We're just having ordinary fish and chips tonight as I've been out in the garden most of the day.
        I potted up a new Calamagrostis K.F into a big blue pot on our terrace. I needed something tallish that could cope with the wind and also shield us a bit from the parked cars in the road below. Hope it works. After doing that, I just pottered, didn't have time to attack the hedge again.

        That's going to be long, long trip @Jacquiscrap , train or car? Hope it goes ok.

        Just seen the news about the Princess of Wales, poor woman, what a shock. Do hope she will be ok.

          @lizzie27, I've just seen the news too. It was very brave of her to make the announcement personally. Hopefully it will shut up the rumour-mongers now.

            Yes @Coccinella and @Ladybird4 plenty of room at the table. It was delicious and I have enough leftovers for a couple of meals!! You will be so welcome!

            I'm not so good at the sourdough baking - it was good if a little dense. I used semi wholewheat. Net time I will just use white T65. Green salad with cherry tomatoes and celery and one lovely lady brought custard squares and lemon meringue tarts to have with our coffee!!

            Terrible news about Kate.

                  A difficult time for any family … especially for one with such young children and being so much in the public eye. I wish them well.

                  I wonder if they’re having a quiet Easter break here in Norfolk. They’re usually able to enjoy some privacy at Sandringham.

                  Unexpectedly sad news from The Princess of Wales - a testing time for anyone, no matter what your circumstances.

                  Washing was ‘nearly’ dry - the airing cupboard will do the rest. Dad is ok (ish) - thank you for asking @lizzie27.

                  Night folks. Wishing you all a good weekend ahead.

                  Good morning all :coffee1:
                  4C here in Norfolk and the light cloud cover of a short while ago is lifting and there’s a blue sky overhead. Looks like another good day for getting the washing dry …

                  The wind is blowing a hooley outside. Hoping for some gardening time but at the moment it is not looking good.
